Korn Shell

[leoric1928]

Good day,

   Hi to all, I would just like to know what are the Free Unix OS that uses Korn Shell?
   I hope it is available for download because I am studying Korn Shell programming. Tnx

All of them, I believe, come with a package called pdksh (Public Domain Korn Shell.) It is just up to you to decide which distro you'd like to try. All are good for programming.

You get a lot of cool shells that you wouldn't normally get under a propreitary UNIX.  zsh is pretty cool (If you like Korn Shell.)

You can get the real Korn Shell with the links below. If I recall, the PDKSH doesn't have built in math functionality where the real KSH does. This is one of the most important features of the Korn Shell. Here you can get the real Korn shell:

If you are using an RPM based system get this:

ftp://speakeasy.rpmfind.net/linux/contrib/libc6/i386/ksh93-2000.10.31.0-1.i386.rpm

Or you can get it here at the main site:
